St. Peters woman among 2 killed, dozen shot during violent St. Louis weekend

Authorities are investigating two homicides and multiple shootings over a violent weekend in the St. Louis area.

The first incident was Saturday around 2:15 a.m., a woman was shot in the 6000 block of N. Broadway. Detectives say she was conscious and breathing before heading to a local hospital and is listed in critical, but stable condition.

About thirty minutes later, police say a victim was shot at near S. Grand Blvd and Gravois Ave. Authorities have not released information about a possible suspect in the shooting.

Hours later, a woman was shot in the leg and raped by an unknown man in the 4300 block of Rosalind around 4:50 a.m.

The woman was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

At the same time, a male Bi-State bus driver was then shot near N. Broadway and Taylor. Sources from Bi-State said the victim was getting ready to begin a route and while standing outside of his bus, a man approached and shot him during a robbery attempt.
